Thanks, so each connection is a server and can use up to 2gb. and if 200
people connected and each was using 128k, then some 20GB of memory would
get used? Just to make sure I understand. There doesn't seem to be any
commented out default configuration params in the firebird.conf file.
Is that on purpose as we shouldn't be messing with the parameters or an
over site?

I think the cached pages for CS defaults to 75 and I was going to bump
it to 200 (if that makes sense).

In addition, the gbak file I am restoring is from IB 7.51. Is there a
FB (1.1 or 1.5) GBAK that is compatible with IB 7.51? If not I can
always extract the DDL and datapump the data.

Thanks
